From: Pressure-dependent stress relaxation in acute respiratory distress syndrome and healthy lungs: an investigation based on a viscoelastic model

Figure 2

Lumped parameter model. Electrical circuit analog to the spring-and-dashpot model. R denotes the Newtonian airway resistance and Cst the static compliance. Rve and Cve are the resistance and the compliance of the viscoelastic component, respectively. The respiratory airflow represents the input and the respiratory pressure Prs the output of the model.
